We all know the folly and fallacy of following the 'eye for an eye' principle, yet sometimes people cannot help but do just that; enter the ITV1 Injustice ad campaign. These series of five posters advertise a new TV drama airing on [ITV](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-last-photo) in which a criminal barrister finds himself questioning his belief in the legal system.

With a great premise to work with, it is no wonder that the ITV1 Injustice ad campaign is just as strong and controversial. Taking a cue from the popularity of [minimal posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beige-billboards), the ITV1 Injustice [print ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-advertising-campaign) are simple and direct. They rely on bold taglines such as 'Is murdering a murderer always murder?' as well as stark imagery that reinforces the difficult questions posed.
